Like most Austrailians, they are drunk most of the time, and are only agressive when sober.

Eucalyptus is poisonous, but they get high on it. So that their bodies adapt to this poison and get high instead of dead, their first meal is their mothers stools.

These drugs, apart from sedating them, make them highly aggressive. Should you be unlucky enough to come across one, back away as slowly as you can, some say that bearing your teeth helps as well. Don't try to outrun them, they're fast buggers.

It's spring, and the baby bear comes out of his cave. His knees are wobbling, he's a wreck. He's skin and bones, with big circles under his eyes. His mother says, "Junior! Did you hibernate all winter like you were supposed to?" He says, "Hibernate? Sh1t! I thought you said masturbate!"
